Can Jagan Win From a Weak Seat?

TDP general secretary and former minister Nara Lokesh, who is on his padayatra Yuva Galam, has thrown a salvo at CM YS Jaganmohan Reddy. Lokesh criticised AP state government and lack of employment opportunities for the state youth. He blamed the government for the rise of unemployment and stated, “Jobs nill, Ganjayi full”.

Responding to AP Global Investors Summit 2023, Lokesh said industrialists and business tycoons are unhappy with AP government. Lokesh alleged that the state government is cheating and fooling the people of the state by showing MOUs with the same companies that the government had entered into agreements with at Davos earlier. He describe it as “Fake Summit”

Claiming that industrialists are giving slogans like “Bye Bye AP” and leaving the state, Lokesh accused AP state leaders of acting like “terrorists”. He said several industries in AP are shifting away.

Lokesh addressed the media at Pileru in Chittoor district. During the media interaction, Nara Lokesh gave an open challenge to CM YS Jagan. “Winning from the bastion and making tall claims isn’t a big deal. Can Jagan contest from a weak constituency and win from there?” challenged Nara Lokesh. He added that Mangalagiri is not a TDP bastion and still he had contested from there. Lokesh said he would contest from Mangalagiri again and win his seat. He said he will make Managalagiri into TDP’s fort.

Lokesh said he is clicking Selfies in front of the industries and companies that came in TDP’s regime. He said CM Jagan hasn’t taken his challenge to click selfies in front of the companies that came under his rule proving he has lost it. Overall, Lokesh is aggressively touring and getting closer to youth.
